    When will there be updates on Pirates of the Caribbean opening? I spent $2K on tickets and for myself Pirates is the only attraction I was waiting to see and share first with my grandbabies. I know maintenance is required, but this is so disappointing.

    Hey there Amy!  Thanks for stopping by planDisney!

    Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my family's favorite attractions, and I remember the disappointment we had one trip when it was closed for refurbishment.  It's a classic attraction that I've enjoyed since I was a kid, nothing is better than walking into the attraction, feeling the cool air, and smelling the water!  

    The hours & events calendar will be a great resource for your trip planning.  As of now, the calendar only extends to mid-June.  There is not an official reopening date for Pirates of the Caribbean at the current moment, but I would keep my eye on the attraction page for an official reopening date.  

    I know this would not take the place of experiencing the actual attraction, but you could explore making a dining reservation at Blue Bayou Restaurant.  Not only does the restaurant have an exceptional menu, but the ambiance of overlooking the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction is unmatched!  You also can check the Disneyland app for when Captain Jack Sparrow will be out greeting Guests.  Open up the app, and click the location icon on the bottom navigation bar, and tap "Characters" to see which characters are appearing and at what time.  

    I'm sending you all of the pixie dust that you're able to experience Pirates of the Caribbean with your family, Amy!  If we can answer any other questions for your vacation, please don't hesitate to come back and ask.

    Have a magical day!
